Arcimboldo, eat your heart out.

Giuseppe Arcimboldo painted some rather bizarre portraits involving fruit and vegetables, flowers, even chickens — but this maiolica plate indicates that he had some stiff competition.

Probably not terribly safe for work. ("But it's art!")

heh heh - you said "stiff"!
Okay - I just gotta enter that in Art Sci! Perhaps with a coordinating plate that has a special flower motif.
I should've guessed from the "stiff competition" joke, but for a second after clicking I was trying to figure out what kind of fruits those were.
That is so fabulous! LOL!
What a dickhead.
Sì, ché un testa di cazi!

I like how the motto is written backwards so that it doesn't actually spell out any obscenities. Because that makes the plate so much less rude.
